We'll I officially hate UPS
I had a package coming that was supposed to be here today and well its not.
UPS' excuse...
ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
it says that its in Anaheim, CA
which is basically where i am and there are no "Weather Conditions" here
so i say...
WUDDAFUXUP?

 

haa haa, nice. Well maybe they mean it's too hot to work?

 

when i bought a set of WORK wheels for my first gen box, they mysteriously lost one of them ...they paid for it, but i had to wait another month for the replacement wheel from japan!

they charged me 100 to ship my hks exhaust when online the quote was 30.

 

The only reason i hate UPS is that they deliver stuff to my house at random times... it could range from early in the morning to when its already dark out

 

That's probably your fault for measuring wrong and/or not clicking residential.

 

That is the only thing nice about where I live. I am really close to a big business park so I get deliveries shortly after lunch (between 12pm and 1pm) so at least I can count on that! (Other than that I hate all shipping companies other than FedEx.... Not that they are that much better, but when I have things shipped FedEx, I can have them leave it at the processing center, and I can pick it up when I get off of work, rather than wonder about delivery!)

 

yeah
the only thing i don't get is
ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
what does that mean?

 

Guy saw a rain cloud and it scared him? lol who knows, I had friends who worked at the processing centers for UPS and the things he told me scare the heck out of me!

 

i hate them because they don't like to ever ring my door bell ... and then they leave me a nice little note saying i missed the delivery and that i have to go pick it up ... even though i was home the whole time.. grrr

 

Charged $100 to ship a CF air splitter when online quoted $30!
And another thing is that always deliver my packages at the end of the day. I sat at home waiting for my rims and they didn't come until 6pm. Happened two times!!! haha

 

Ok so i called UPS and asked them why my package was delayed

It turns out there aren't any weather conditions in Anaheim, but there are in Ohio.
Because of the floods there, there has been a backup of packages.

My package was being shipped from Ohio.
Even though it said it had it departure scan already done from Illinois, its still gonna be late....

I still hate UPS,
next time im gonna ship w/ Fed Ex, DHL, or USPS.

 

I wouldnt mess with DHL either

 

Why?

 

I've always had bad experiences with them, slower than USPS. I hear they hire ex cons and stuff mostly.

 

Well then the ex cons must be the smart ones, i have never had a problem with DHL or Fed Ex, UPS are always late to lazy to knock or just don't even get out of the truck and just drive by and not drop the package off.

 

my friend bought a computer and had it shipped UPS. It arrived damaged, so he filed an insurance claim for 600 bucks, the covered amount. that was one month ago, they still havent called back.

He now refers to them as the "f--- ups"

 

Fondest memory I have of DHL is a very obese man taking my lip kit I ordered for my old car out his van and chucking it on the ground. He brought it over and I inspected it before siging for delivery and sure enough that thing was cracked to hell.

UPS has always been great for me honestly, deliveries are timely and arrive when they should. Goes to show service depends on your location.

 

Reason #1:
Watched a UPS driver who was picking up from a specialty manufacturer at Christmas time throwing the boxes up onto the top shelf in the back of the truck. When I asked "What happens if something breaks?" His response was "That's what insurance is for."

Reason #2:
Ordered expensive graphic design software, and requested FedEx shipping, after explaining that UPS would just leave it on my doorstep if I wasn't home. (I lived on a street that had the front doors of all the condos 10' from the street & in clear view of anybody driving by; package theft was already a problem. I was between jobs and didn't have a work address to deliver to.) Company said they would send it UPS overnight / signature required so that UPS would not leave it if I wasn't there to sign for it. I waited all day Friday for the delivery. As I was pulling around the first corner, leaving home at 7:30pm to be gone all weekend, I saw the UPS truck. By the time I turned around and got back home, the package was sitting on my doorstep and the truck was gone... lucky me that I saw the truck and turned around.

Reason #3:
Living at the same condo as reason #2, instructed a handgun manufacturer that was doing some custom work on a fully functioning 9mm to ONLY ship it FedEx overnight signature required (they've never left anything at the door w/o a signature). They sent it UPS signature required anyway... you know where this is going. UPS came early in the morning, left it on the doorstep, rang the bell, and drove off. I was home, and opened the door in time to watch the truck drive down the street... lucky UPS that I was there, or they could have been responsible for another stolen gun on the streets.

3 strikes, you're out UPS!

 

Anyone remember the opening sequence of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective? Yep, that's pretty close to what UPS does. Except the movie still isn't violent enough to the package.
